most of the cats I’ve had, have liked to be in small paces. They especially liked small boxes and corners. Does anyone know why this is the case?
Probably because cats are bred from a desert cat that would tend to make its den in crevices. Also small space makes it harder for larger preditors to get at them.
Plus, the higher spatial density of angles found in hidey-nooks makes it simpler for the cat to access alternate dimensionsof reality.
It might make them feel secure and hidden from prey and predators.
But i think that is almost exactly what the person above me said.
It isn’t just cats either, most small to medium sized critters like small hidey-holes.
(pardon my elaborate technical jargon)
I hope you are aware that you can utilise this to make a bonsai kitten. :rolleyes:
It’s the cozy factor. We have a cat that likes to cram herself into a bowl that she used to hang out in when she was a wee kitten.
Now we have a new kitten. She dives into my husband’s stinky boots. Head-first. Ya gotta wonder.
It’s because if they are in a little tiny space where they can’t see you, then you can’t seem them. Or so it seems to their little walnut brains.
One of my cats likes to “lump” under the comforter. She craws up the side of the bed and lumps herself under there. She is always very surprised when I pull the covers back and poke her: the comforter was supposed to have rendered her invisible. She just doesn’t understand.
My cat is the same way. I have to check for her every time I sit on my bed.
didn’t that Bonsai Kitten site cause a stir?
I think (hope) it’s supposed to be a sick joke.
Peace,
